Oliver Hides with Friday’s Phone In.

Have you noticed an improvement in NHS waiting times? March’s figure was the lowest since April 2021.
So we want to hear how waiting times are impacting you – have you had a shorter wait for treatment?

We’re also discussing the perimenopause - the transitional period leading up to menopause.
Tell us about your experience of the perimenopause. How you and your family managed, and any advice you’d like to share.

And will you be firing up the barbecue this bank holiday weekend?
If so, don’t make do with the standard sausages and burgers. The Hangfire girls – Sam and Shorna – will be along to share their top tips.
